Nice, thanks both. I was prepared to fork out some cash for some good ones but I don't think I'll have to now. Also gently caress cityscapes, it's now all about close ups of grass.

Dumb question, but why not take a color one and make it black-and-white?

Any idea why Foundation and Flex-box don't get along or what exactly is going on here? In Chrome and IE, the padding to the right of 'add' gets ignored so the copy isn't centered. Not including foundation fixes the issue, but I don't see why. All I see is the calculated width is different, but I don't see WHY it's different. Firefox doesn't have the issue.

I would if I found a colour one that I really wanted to use but right now I'm just looking through and hoping something grabs me. Also I have zero aesthetic sensibility so I'm trying to keep this as simple as possible.

The Merkinman posted:Any idea why Foundation and Flex-box don't get along or what exactly is going on here? Both the textbox and submit button are flex items, due to the display: flex; statement on the parent div. That means they want to sit next to each other on the same line. The imported Foundation Apparently Gecko and Trident/Webkit have a different opinion on how far it is allowed to be shrunk down. Gecko (Firefox) will not shrink the flex item down beyond the width of its content, whereas Trident (IE) and Webkit (Chrome, Vivaldi, Opera) will do so. This causes the content to overflow over the right padding, giving the illusion that the right padding is ignored, which it isn't. The statement flex-shrink: 0; on the submit button will tell the browser that it should not be shrunk, which fixes the issue. See this jsfiddle for a more minimal example.

A client of mine is preparing to create an API for querying content on their site. Can any one recommend a good tool for mapping something like this out, or how a backend dev might prefer to receive input from me? My first instinct was to use Balsamiq or some similar tool to make a wireframe of the types of JSON output I'd like to see, but I'm not really sure where to start. Would it be better to just manually write out a couple of example objects?

I could use some help. I'm a beginner web developer studying in community college and my class project is to make a responsive website for a science teacher at the school. What I want to do is to make a button navbar that when clicks shows the links horizontally to the right. I'm not very good at googling so if someone could give me good key words that would be great or give me a quick tutorial. I copied code from the "Magister" template that I got online and the teacher liked the navbar. I want to change it completely because I don't want to plagiarize. Here is the link to the site: https://science.soadtoad.com/ Any input would be great. I don't want any hand holding because I won't learn.

My recommendation would be to look at this: http://tympanus.net/codrops/2013/04/17/slide-and-push-menus/ It will give you a pretty good understanding of how the technology works, and then you can use that understanding to build what you're after. If you're after something more explanatory, rather than just code, try Googling for "Slide in" or "Push in" menus. They're not quite the same as what you want to do, but they share the same concept (click on a button, show menu).

I'm not very good at googling so if someone could give me good key words that would be great or give me a quick tutorial. You'll want to use CSS media queries for responsive design - these allow you to change display options based on screen size, basically. Here's a good intro from the Mozilla Developer Network (which is a great resource to familiarize yourself with): https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/CSS/Media_queries It also sounds like you will want to do some research into the CSS display property, particularly inline vs block styling. A very basic example of the difference: https://jsfiddle.net/5jyb9vjq/ The Magister template you found also uses the Bootstrap framework, which has that kind of nav menu built in (which means you aren't really plagiarizing anything - Bootstrap is free!) While Bootstrap is great, it's generally smarter to try to code something like this without using a framework when you are beginning to learn, so you have a better grasp of how the CSS and HTML elements interact. The nav element relies on a jQuery click event to trigger the display change that shows the menu items, so I'd recommend checking out jQuery (and JavaScript in general, by extension). The jQuery API - http://api.jquery.com/ More info on Bootstrap - http://getbootstrap.com/ And here's a very simple example of something kind of like what you describe - click on the button, and it hides or shows a horizontally displayed menu: https://jsfiddle.net/5jyb9vjq/2/ my bony fealty fucked around with this message at 07:29 on Apr 2, 2015 |

More of a tooling question than directly web dev. Does Emmet/zenCoding/VS WebEssentials let you declare more than one class on an element with their auto-expanding shorthand? I want, for example, to make a bootstrap button with something like div.(btn btn-primary)[tab] but I can't find the right syntax and I've not had immediate success googling.

I've been playing around with HTML, Bootstrap, CSS, and JavaScript for a few weeks now. I've realized that maintaining my website with a header and footer that has to be updated per page is pretty annoying so it looks like I'm going to invest my time in learning PHP next. What else would you guys recommend investing my time in next to learn?

If you need to store data, do operations on it etc. you can learn PHP but you can also use JavaScript on the server side and there are certainly many other options. It's more of me wanting to learn as much as I can since I've got about 4 more months of almost unlimited downtime and I'm learning as much as I can. However that is a pretty cool resource there.

I mean, lots of places use it because of historical reasons, but it's a poo poo language and there's no reason to learn it if you're just wanting to learn something for self-improvement. Any of these would be a superior choice for server-side web stuff: Python, Java, C#, JS. I very hesitantly included js there. Thermopyle fucked around with this message at 19:12 on Apr 6, 2015 |

If you want to learn something good/useful/educational/makes-you-better-at-programming/isn't-stupid-and-full-of-horrors, then there's much better choices. If you just want to shovel out a site as fast as possible and don't care about bad programming habits instilled by PHP itself and all the horrible PHP tutorials, then no, there's nothing wrong with it.

Really, the band of user goals/abilities/preferences that should just use PHP is extremely narrow. There's lots of static site generators for other not-bad languages. I was just looking at Pelican for python last week.

Come up with an idea for a project and start chipping away at it, with your goal being to see it through to completion. When you hit difficulties along the way (notice I said "when", not "if"), search for answers to your specific problems, learn how to implement the solution, and work from there. This'll be your best way to learn.

You might as well jump straight to Wordpress since that's by far the easiest way to make money out of some basic PHP knowledge in my (limited) experience. Maybe play around with this awesome starter theme: http://themble.com/bones/ There are a lot of really detailed comments in the code that basically guide you through how everything works. Can't recommend it enough.

Anyone here try out Spartan in the latest Windows 10 build? The Cortana integration seems neat, but it feels like that's the only site it works on. I've looked at the code and not seen anything special, and in fact it looks pretty sub par as far as code (two #footers, no microdata, etc). Any idea how it works?

I need a CSS+HTML PDF generator. I've used DomPDF in the past with great results and enjoyed using it. My primary concern is performance (scaling, really) this time around and I'm wondering if DomPDF is still the way to go or if I should look at alternatives? Also it's not outside of the realm of possibility of using something like HVVM and worker nodes to do the generation if necessary. I'd prefer to use a PHP solution but if I can get better performance with something else then that's ok too.

Amusing fact, I was in the office where the Macaw team works today! Anyone familiar with MathJax? I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to inject some breathing room into complex equations. Simple equations are nice and easy to read:  but when there's a lot of nesting going on, stuff gets really small and compressed:  I've reviewed the documentation and can only find ways to scale the entire equation, but not to adjust padding or anything like that. The markup MathJax generates seems so complex that I have no clue how to adjust it intelligently. Any ideas?

What are you feeding into MathJax? If it were LaTeX input you could just move the sigma notation limits above and below the symbol and that would clean up really nice imo.
